There is no daily maintenance although Rackspace has been upgrading their databases resulting in outages. As for missing datapoints this is most likely communications issues again. I am working on a production firmware update which will hopefully increase reliability of comms and resolve some other low-level issues.

Looks like there is still a problem with resolving the data's correct time. I'll look into this when I get a chance!

ok. One of the new features of the wider graph is that the data points are individual vertical bars and you can easily spot from the green Kw/hr bars how they graph every 15 minutes, shorter and bars bunch together, longer they seperate so missing data is really obvious.
I see two 'holes' spaced about 2hours apart every day at approx between server time 2am and 6am. It looks too consistent to not be an 'event'. They, unfortunately, often occur during my daily live data acquisition and not when the Classic is resting.

Next production firmware for Classic is that?  What about a simple change to increase data sending to server to every 10 minutes or even 5 minutes?

Andrew,
I see some changes in how dates are dealt with. Unfortunately they do not work for me. see attached pic
Current date here is Friday 21June 2013 but graph says up to Thur 20 June.
This  means the current data as at just after 9am 21 June is crammed in at the right side of the date slider then tight at right end of the main graph display.  Before there was the current day plus about half day in future at right of date slider. This allowed current up to minute data to be placed centrally on the main graph - visually much better.
Please revert back to previous  ;D

Hi, Dgd,
I haven't made any changes to date handling! Must be a bug.

Thanks!

Andrew , does it have anything to do with DGD being 1 day ahead of us here in NA and it (your program) doesn't like advanced dates?

FYI - I did an update tonight, but no new data has been ported across to mymidnite - in fact, the only data curve ends at May 11.

EDIT: But it is showing all of today. :)

West:  good point. After about an hour it got fixed and the display is now 'as was'

Andrew: THANKS, now the polling is about every 9 minutes and the graphs look much better, fuller and detailed..
Still the occasional gap as a poll is missed or stretched. I also see you fixed the KW/hr green bars in the mini graph/date slider as
they were showing as a green horizontal line midway up the mini graph. This only occured on the first (topmost) Classic's display.
I assume you are working on the Chart Control 'STATUS' as all it does now is fill main graph with vertical blue bars.
I'msure you are just a smidgeon away from including the text/numbers node14 display for last 14 days  :P

West,
It is a time zone issue, same problem now. 9am June 22 in New Zealand and MyMidnite time is still in June 21 so displaying data right now is difficult. Whenever the time at the server moves to June 22 the problem obviously goes away.

... 23rd now and I realised the bug/problem is that dates are changing at 12 midday instead of 12 midnight.

Minor observation this morning: MyMidnite reports nine seconds in float today - but the Classic hasn't gone into float - either according to my observation, as well as the logs.

Hi,

Very much liking the web monitoring! I have been using it for about a month. Many good improvements.

There was a couple of weeks or 3 or 4 of data.

I updated the Classic to the latest FW, and Local App (not used for Web Monitoring is it?).

I have noticed over the last few days the data is now only for today & the previous day.

Also "Float Time" is outside the data frame.

Do the email alerts work yet? I set up a couple but didn't receive any.

Thanks,

dRdoS7

PS. I am using Firefox.

I suspect the reason you are only seeing a couple of days (actually 1.5 days or less) is because the resolution of your graph is pretty fine at about 1 minute between data points. It appears to me that the MyMN server database has allowed space for 14 days of records from each Classic at one record per 10 minutes (or thereabouts). So thatis only space for 1.4 days at 1 minute resolution.

If you look at my screen image of two Classics, the top one is one minute resolution and the lower 10 minute resolution.
The one minute graph is so finely detailed that from the battery voltage line I can see when I used the electric toaster, the coffee machine woke up and when the carpet got hoovered  :)  The price is that I have only about 1.5 days worth of data.
The lower display looks very vacant and the batt V line has lost much meaning.

I can understand that 1 minute resolution may not be sustainable for 14 days  BUT   a real nice feature would be 1 minute for the current day dropping to 10 minutes for previous 13days.  My reasoning here is that the graph is probably most valuable looking at what is happening now,today and the prev days are only historical, albeit recent history, interest.
Or of course MN could just invest in a bigger database storage and give us all 1 minute resolution 14 day graphs - I for one would  actually pay $/something towards this facility   :P

Having seen the one minute graphs it has just opened up so many analysis possibilities,  MN Please keep it  :)

Where is this setting configured?

It can't be configured (yet!),  I'm told it is a bug. Hopefully it will become a feature maybe configurable as 14 days at 10minute intervals or 1.4 days at 1 minute intervals  ;D
